Where Anglers Should Try Thelr Luck for Striped Bass. Fishing continues good on the north shore, and during the past week some very large catches have been made on all the principal fishing-grounds from California ity to the Lime Point fog-whistle. On Monday George Coleman, the well- known angler, and two companions caught eighty-five pounds of red rockcod at Point Cavallo, the largest weighing three and a half pounds and five of them over two pounds each. On the same day Fred Manson and friend caught mbout sixty pounds of red and blue rockcod between Lime Point and Sugarloaf Rock, the largest a blue rockcod weighing two and three-quarter pounds. The tomcods are coming into the bay in large numbers, and good catches of these fish have been made during the week on | the Sausalito fishing banks. The best place to catch these fish is about 300 yaras off shore, on the banks extending from the tide-gauge to the Sausalito ferry landing. The depth of water varies from twenty to forty feet, and the hooksused are generally No. 5 or No. 6 gut hooks, with morsel worms for bait. Considerable numbers of kingfish and a few flounders are also caught in the same place. On Tuesday last Thomas Menderson and lad caught | over 200 tomcods and kingfish in afew FOUR MACEEREL CAUGHT AT CATALINA JUNE 27, 1895—WEIGHT 100 POUNDS. eral admirers of a grand and pped and trolled the s for trout and bass were some of the st experienced and practical anglers of r, but with all their cunning and v lures poor success was the re- rd effort and At perseverance. 1ong the fraternity who hereto- ghed at the idea of the moon af- fishing in any way are now general helief that poor follows bright moon- Now that the moon is on improvement in the sport ne who on Ic an result. ass sport” are the words that 1 pear at the commencement of s received by lovers of angling in this m friends who are at present rusti- in the mountains.

Some nice catches have been made by anglers who fished late in the evenings. 2 It is said that trout fishing in the upper waters of the Garcia River in Mendocina County is destroyed because of the im- mense quantities of reilroad ties that are now piled up in the stream. — AQUATICS. New Boathouse for the University of California Oarsmen. The Berkeley University boys do not propose to remain behind in aquatic sport; thev hope to see the new boathouse at Sessions Basin constructed in a week or so. It will be remembered that the club suf- fered quite a loss some months ago by the burning down of their aquatic quarters, but the loss sustained at the time did not dishearten the boys in the least. They will soon be in the swim again, when active practice with the oars will commence. new building will be 70x24 feet, and -class accommodations will be pro- d for the storing of the club’s aquatic boats are now being built, and include two 40-foot four-oar , two pair oar shelis and a double-oar The new crait will be greatly ap- ted by the boys, as they had hereto- to manage as best they could with a lass racing outfit.

G. Grace and His Laurels and Other Miscellaneous Notes. | The center figure of entire cricketdom st now is the English champion, W. G. Grace. The “shilling testimonial” insti- {tuted by the London Daily Telegraph y caught on lixe wildfire and promises to swell into quite a fortune. And if ever a cricketer merited a mark of public esteem “W. G.” is undoubtedly the man. I re- member seeing him at the Oval a score of | years ago and figuring that his ericket days were drawing to a close. Yet since then he has held his own with nands down and established a record which is not likely to be broken. This very season | he has made 1000 runs in eight innings, in | first-class matches, and has completed his hundredth century. Twice has he taken all ten wickets in an inning, a feat that has only sixteen parallels. And he is still well in the ring. Here is an instance of the excitement that reigned in London during the prog- ress of his big inning in the recent Gloucester-Middlesex match. The colossal | swindler, Jabez Balfour, was on trial at the time. A prosecution witness was giv- ing most damning testimony in court, but it seemed not to interest the prisoner a little bit. He was peering round among the reporters present, and when at last he succeeded in_attracting their attention he inquired audibly, “How many has Grace made ?” Eastern cricket is _attracting more atten- tion than ever, and althouth there have | been no very large scoring, the standard of playing has improved. The resting place of the Halifax cup for the season of 1895-96 was virtually decided June 29, when Germantown defeated Bel- mont by the score of 95 (two wickets) to 92. At Philadelphia, June 22, All New York beat Germantown, 356 to 148; Delaware beat Moorestown, 154 to 51; Wayne beat Lansdowne, 113 to 97, and Germantown | second beat Beltield, 131 to 90. | Coming to local items, the formation of I'a new club at Mills Valley is an indication | of the game’s progress. They are about to ilay a concrete wicket and will soon be ready to enter the association. As in the East, the scoring has been | lower than usual. Hood and Sloman of | the Alamedas and J. C. Robertson of the | Californias are the only men who, in cup | matches, have approached the century | notch. In_therace for the cup the champions and Bohemians are neck and neck. They meet to-morrow at Klinknerville for a i battle royal, while the Pacifics-and Cali- fornias will do fight at Alameda. UMPIRE. MONEY FOR HORSEMEN. | Big Inducements to Trotters, Pacers and Runners Around the Circuit. Big inducements will be held out to | borsemen intending to take in the cir- cuit this year,and the runners who hereto- | fore have been rather overlooked by the | managers of the district fairs have come in for a fair share of patronage. Stockton intends giving away $15,000 in purses for the trotters, pacers and run- ners, and Fresno, which is on the line of horsemen 1ntending to visit the southern fairs, is out with a fine vrogramme of events, | $11,800 in Eurses for its meeting, to be held from October 1 to 5 inclusive. The free-for-allers and the 2:13 classes of both the trottine and pacing brigades are offered $1000 purses, and zzr the slower classes $800 and $600 purses are hung up. There will be eight events for whicg the bangtdils can contest, with $150 added money in each. Ben Wright, the popular ex-lessee of the Oakland race track, is now president of the association. All entries close'on August 1. In the southern circuit Ventura is out with a fine programme for the fair—Octo- ber 8 to 12, In the free-for-all trot and pace $1000 is offered, with the purses in the slower classes tapering down from $600 for the 2:19 class to $160 for the 2:45 class. FEight events are open for the gallopers, including handicaps at a mile and a quar- ter, a mile and a sixteenth and one mile for $250 purses. The other évents are dashes for_two-year-olds and the all-aged division, all being $200 purses. This 1s | Ventura’s first year on the circuit and its giving away an aggregate ' of |’ very liberal stakes should receive recogni- tion from horsemen. Entries close August 1, and all communi- cations should be addressed to the secre- wg, J. F. Newby. _Hueneme, another town on the southern circuit, is offering some very liberal in- ducements to horsemen for its annual fair, to be held September 24 to 28. Purses aggregating $2400 are hung u for the trotters and pacers, open to nl!‘: with ten events for the running division. Entries close on August 3 with Thomas H. Merry, the secretary. Owing to a lack of entries the directors of the Willows fair have deciared the meeting off. i SAN JOSE SPORTING. McFarland Is the Coming Cycling Star—The Rod and Gun. SAN JOSE, CarL., July 12—Floyd Mec- Farland’s riding on the Fourth, when he rode a heat of the two-thirds of a mile handicap, class A, from scraten, in 1:25 1-5, is being commented upon by all bicyclists, and many predict that he is destined to be a world-beater. It was not discovered until the following Sunday that the record bad been broken. McFarland is without doubt the greatest road-rider in the West, if not in the country. In the great relay race this spring he made the fastest time, covering his ten miles in 26:59. A few weeks later, in the five-mile handicap road race of the Road Club, he broke the coast record, riding from scratch in 13:43 2-5. Mc- Farland has wonderful powers of en- durance. For the last year he has carried the Daily Mercury~ to Gil- roy every morning, a distance of thirty miles. He carries about thirty pounds of papers and makes the distance in a little over two hours. During the great strike of a year ago McFarland car- ried the Mercury to Gilroy and returned on his wheel every day—a distance of sixty miles—for nearly two weeks. Riding this distance day after day has developed Mec- Farland into a phenomenal road-rider, and no doubt has helped to place him at the head of class A riders. He has ridden in all the meets of the last two vears, and has won more than hisshare of prizes. McFarland is but 20 years of age aud has | been a prominent member of the Road | Club eyer since it was organized. A few | weeks ago the Olympic Club of San Fran- | cisco made an effort to secure his member- ship, but he preferred to remain with the Road Club. The San Jose Road Club will hold the seventh of its series of five-mile handicap road races over the regular course in East San Jose on Sunday. Therace is for a silver trophy, which has to be won three times to become the personal property of arider. Navlet and Benson have each won the cup twice, and Harris and McFar- land once. - Mclarland won the last race | in 13:43 2-5, which is the coast five-mile record. The entries and handicap for the race are: T. E. Belloli, G. Navlet and G. Hardenbrook, scratch; V. A. Benson, J. | passes. t | on a pass and bagged forty-five birds. A Harrington, 45 sconds; C. Dahlstrom, J. | ‘Wing and M. J. O’'Brien, 50 seconds; Fred | Smith, 1 minute and 15 seconds. | The race should be a close and exciting | one, for all the riders are in active training | for the event. i The Roud Club and Acmes of Oakland hold a joint run and picnic on August 4. | A barbecue and feast will be the attractive | feature. Alum Rock will probably be se- lected as the picnic ground. F. A. McFarland of the Road Cluband | Dick Moody and C. M. Smith of the| Cyclers have gone to Eureka to compete at | the races there at the Sequoia carnival on | July 19 and 2 | On McFarland’s return from Eureka he | will try for the worid’s mile record. He has applied for the sanction of the L. A. W. racing board for such an event. Taundems will be put on at the thirds, and, as he rode two-thirds of o mile in 1:25}4 on the Fourth, it is thought he will be able to reduce the record. The San Jose Road Club was neverina more ]pmsywmus condition than a‘ pres- ent. It has a membership of eighty-five, | city, who will leave by rail for Donner Take next Sunday. The party is under Messrs. Mohr and Yoerk, young men of practical mountain experience obtained in camping trips of many years. Every mem- ber of the garty will go provided "with a bicycle, and many are the projected moon- light rides through the giant pines and along the picturesque roads that thread the country in all directions. The party will establish a permanent camp on the banks of Lake Donner, and Mr. Yoerk, who is an experienced rifle shot, intends trying the novel exgerimen: of deer stalking on the silent steed. Mr. Mohris the crack fisherman of the party and will provide many a toothsome trout from the water of Donner, Inde- pendence and Tahoe, making trips to the outlying waters on his bike. : Police Sergeant Plunkett and his family will leave August 1 for Philips station, where he will pass his vacation among the deer and trout of that region. This is one of the most picturesque portions of the Sierras, always cool, with a fair sprinkling of deer and grouse, and numerous small lakes well stocked with trout. It is reached by wagon. or stage via Placerville, and is already the favorite resort of the majority of Sacramentans. Mose Nixon Kimball, one of Sacramen- to’s leading sport-lovers, has returned from his summer’s outing at Pacific Grove. He gives interesting accounts of successes achieved in salmon-fishing. The officers of the Capital City Wheel- men have been selected and are listed as follows: President, H. Bennett; vice-pres- ieent, S. F. Ennis; secrelary, George At- wood; treasurer, C. E. Wright; captain, George Readman. George Lavenson will act as historian, and the directors are W. Wright, Dr. Shaw, L. 8. Upson and J. Andrews. The membership 1s eighty-five and is increasing rapidly. Last Sunday the experienced riders of the club made the run to Stockton and return, having a very interesting trl)ls. To-morrow a ma- jority of the clup will go on a ten-mile spin” to initiate the new beginnersin the delights of the country-road rides. The club is making arrangements for an ex- tensive race meet, to be held the first Monday in October—Labor day. Prizes will be presented for the various events, which wxg be epen to all eligible comers. Several inattached members en- tered an unsanctioned race given by a horse-tamer last week, and have all been suspended from participation in sanctioned meets. Local shots report that doves are plenti- ful and are beginning to frequent the Charles Flohr spent last Sunday party, consisting of Upson, Newbert, Deuce and Sullivan, all shots of note, bagged 124 in an afternoon’s shooting. Lawn tennis is rapidly gaining fresh ad- herents thmu%hou_t this locality and the Sacramento Club is gaining in member- \Vhenfl:\m}ipmmisesnclub of thirty members and J. H. Durst, the crack shot of that place, also a leading member of the Tennis Club, has been in the city this week having a try at the Sacramento courts. The Misses Cooper, Beaumont, Colclow and Willis, of the Sacramento Club, are rapidly beeoming experts before the net and challenge the admiration of the spec- tmtors by their graceful play and great agility. "Drs. Bailey and Taylor are also playing in good form and promise to show up wufi, as they evince great interest in advancement of their play. RUTHERFORD. e e FISHING NEAR CATALINA. The Coast Record Broken With a 216-Pound Jew Fish. AVALON, CararLiNA Isranp, CAL., July 12.—The fishing record of the Pacific Coast is broken by a Canandaigua (N.Y.)an- gler, Stuart-Menteth Beard, who has been making enormous catches all the season at Catalina Island. Recently Mr. Beard re- turned from a two days’ fishing expedition to San Clemente Island, which lies twenty miles farther out to sea, bringing a 215- pound Jew fish, which he landed with a A JEWFISH CAUGHT BY BEARD WITH ROD AND LINE AT CATALINA — WEIGHY 215 POUNDS. and eight applications are before the board. August. Game Warden Mackenzie received 30,000 rainbow trout last Saturday and assigned them to the following streams: Coyote Creek 10,000, Stevens Creek 10,000 and Uvas 10,000. About the latter part of August 100,000 cutthroat trout will be dis- tributed in the streams of this county. Dove-shooting is at its height and several fine bags have been exhibited by parties returning from trips to the foothills back of Gilroy. Frank E. Brockhage and Al Schilling returned from a hunting trip with fifty-three doves one day during the week. Messrs. Vail of San Francisco and Powell and Graham of Los Gatos killed seventy-five doves last Tuesday 1n the hills above Los Gatos. The close season for deer expires July 15 and several parties are making prepara- tions for a hunt. Deer are reported rather lentiful this year in the vicinity of the lagas. SRR i SACRAMENTO SPORTING. All About Cycling, Angling, Dove- Shooting and Lawn Tennis. SACRAMENTO, CaL., July 13.—August will be a month of general exodus from this city to the mountains. One of the leading parties now making preparations for an outing consists of twenty young ladies and prominent young men of the e O e bedorotho ko | light rod and a 15-thread Cuddyhunk line, e first of | after a three hour and thirty-five minutes’ fight. The gamey monster towed the boat with three men in it a distance of two and a_half miles out to sea. The battle took place after dark, the fish being first hooked about 8 p. v. This is the largest fish ever caught with rod and reel on the Pacific Coast, and considering the lateness of the hour and the lightness ofthe line will be sure to attract world-wide notice in sport- ing circles. The world’s record up to date is 235 pounds with a 21-thread line and a stiff Tarpon rod. SPORTING AT FRESNO. Assoclation of Horsemen Formed. A Fall Race Meeting. FRESNO, CaL., July 11L.—Within the past few days the interest of Fresno horse- men in the plan of having a fall race meeting has been thoroughly aroused. An association has been formed, and all the racing men in the city are members. Fresno has one of the finest tracks on the coast and several world’srecords have been beaten on it. Sunol, when a colt, lowered a record, and the racers brought here by Monroe Salisbury last winter did excellent work. Mr. Salisbury considered this one of the fastest tracks he had raced on, and he said that Flying Jib, Robert J and oth- ’ ers of the string would have equaled or lowered their records had a rain not come on just before the trial, The coursing meet begins on October 1 and continues five days. Racing on the Northern circuit ends just hefore the races here, and fsom 200 to "300 horses will pass through Fresno to 2o to the Southern cir- cuit. The officers of the Fresno associa- tion are confident of beine able to induce the owners of nearly all of theseto stay over for the week. Purses amounting to $11,800 have been hung up. Infive events, three of which are running and two pac- ing, the purses are $1000 each. There are twenty-two events as follows; Trotting, free forall, 2:13, 2:17, 2:20, 2:24, 2:27, 2:40, 2:27 (district), 2:40 (district); acing, 2:25 (district), free for all, 2:13, 117, 2120, 2:25; running, five-eighth$ of a mile dash, quarter of a mile dash, three- quarters of a mile dash, one mile dash, half-mile dash, half-mile dash and repeat, seven-eighths of a mile dash. American Tromn% Association rules govern the meet. The district includes Fresno, Inyo, Kern, Kings, Merced, Mariposa, Madera and Tulare. The citizens of this place have taken hold of the proposed meet with enthu- siasm, and a large amount of money is being raised by subscciption to defray the expense of putting the track and grounds in the best of condition. The fair grounds were sold under a foreclosure of a heavy mortgage a few months ago, but horsemen are_determined to revive the interestin racing. Doucras K. Morr., THE HNGHTS OF CHES A Match by Telegraph to Be Played With the Seattle Chess Club. ono, Scores of the Local Players in the Long Tournament Up to Last Evening. Local chess-players will have another cpportunity to messure their strength against outsiders, as negotiations have been opened with the Seattle Chess Club in reference to a telegraphic chess match. T. Martin received a telegram on July 11 stating the Seattle players could not play before the 1st of August. It would seem from this information that the Seattle men intend to make extraordinary efforts to get their strongest players together and thus make the contest an interesting one for the local players. Joseph Ney Babson of Montreal, the well-known problem composer, is a great accession to the chess department of the Mechanics’ Institute. His games are generally marked by brilliancy of concep- tion, which makes them much more attrac- tive to the spectators than the ordinary games played. The senior and minor chess tournaments being played at the Mechanics’ Institute have aroused considerable enthusiasm as the competition is very keen. Thompson and Cole are the leading players in first and second classes respectively, both having won six and drawn two games out of a total of eight zames played. Over 100 games have already been played in both classes. Herewith is the score at 8:30 o’clock last night of each class, showing the number of games won, lost and drawn by each of the contestants. A drawn game counts as & half won and half lost for each of the players. FIEST CLASS. Name. Won. Lost. Drawn. % 3 3 2 2 5 X 2 5 1 4 4 3 (e 2 1 4 = K 3 % Martin . 4 2 1 BECOND CLASS. Name. Wflon.

NO CHANGE IN THE POUND. McDonough's Petition Is Denied—A Supply Contractor Wants to Throw Up His Job. At the meeting of the Health and Police Committee of the Board of Superyisors yesterday morning, the petition of Patrick McDonough asking for the contract of the City Pound was denied. McDonough of- fered to perform the duties of poundkeeper without expense to the City. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is now in charge of the pound, en- tered a strong protest, which was listened to by a majority of the committee. Su- pervisor King was in favor of McDonough on the ground of economy, but his con- freres voted down the proposition. Sheriff Whelan had a communication before the committee complaining that the supplies furnished to the County Jail by Hugo Goldsmith were not up to the re- quirements of his contract and that many had been rejected. Goldsmith appeared and asked to be re- leased from his contract, as owing to lack of experience he was unable tocarry it out. This the committee refused to do, but they agreed to recommend an assignment of his contract to the Pacitic Marine and Supply Company on the filing of a proper bond. It was decided to report against coverin, the patrol wagons, as the police objecte toit. —_————— Unitarians Incorporate. The Channing Auxiliary of the First Unita- rian Church has filed articles of incorporation with the County Clerk. The aim of the new corporation, it is stated, is to promote moral and religious culture, perform literary work, print and publish literary, religious and artis- tic work and to co-operate with denomina- tional and missionary agenciesof the Unita- rian church. The directors of the new corpo- ration are: Mrs. Horace Wilson, Mrs. Frank Sumner, Miss Kate Atkihson, Mrs. Lewis M. Johnson, Miss Elizabeth B.

Remus Given the Decision Over Road Runner in a Very Doub- ful Finlsh. Next week, and until further notice, there ‘will be but five days’ racing a week. Trainer and Owner Joe McCarthy said Ber- nardo would win, sure, if he didn’t bleed. He didn’t. Johnny Humphreys, who likes to beat the favorites, was laying $23 to $100 against In- stallator going to the pest. A falling off among the book-making frater- nity does not look as though money was very plentiful at the Bay District. The number of pencilers cutting-in was reduced to seven yes- terday. Dan Miller's mare Charmion was sent to the Post yesterday for the first time in blinkers. Dan, who is very sweet on his mare, backed her as usual, but she acted rank and would never extend herself. “Doc” Turbiville, the California jockey, is now riding for Green B. Morris, whose horses are racing atfthe Oakley meeting. The young lightweight is receiving very favorable press notices for his riding. Chevalier had 2 hoodoo day yesterday. He succeeded in landing but one winner, which hard luck was augmented by a $25 fine im- posed by the judges for showing young Bryan, who rode imp. Ivy, how easy it was to cut a horse off on & turn. Judging from all accounts, both private and through the press, Starter H. D. Brown has taken Kansas City by storm, and is upholding the high reputation he made in California as astarter. It is the opinion of a great majority of the California race-going public that “Curly” is destined to be the crackajack flag- wielder of the country. When Eddle Jones took Monterey in next the rail, shutting Roma off, the Van Ness colt was struck and received a bad cut on the left ankle from the Brutus filly, who was directly behind him when Jones pulled in. The accident was unavoidable on Chevalier's part, and cut- down boots probably saved the colt from being permanenty disabled. Many thought because imp.Ivy had a stable boy in the saddle the owner, W. C. de B. Lopez, was not in search of coin, which was not the case. Mr. Lopez stated that the boy Bryan ex- ercised the mare; and he was under the im- pression she would run better for him than for a more experienced jockey. Exerclsing and riding in races, however, appesar,to be quite different things, for the boy allowed himself to be pocketed at the first turn and was never in the hunt thereafter. Ed Bachs, the owner of Tillie S, was very | much cut-up over the ride Piggott putup on Tillie 8 in the last race. Ed said his mare was good, and he and all of his friends got aboard. Piggott certainly showed & lamentable lack of judgment, for, told not to make the running but to pick & good position, he got away well, but began taking his mount back until when something over a quarter had been traversed, he found bimself absolutely last, from which position to win was an impossibility. Joe Rose, the bookmaker, had a close call to winning $500 from Johnny Coleman of the Stuyvesant Club. During one stage of the bet- ting on the two-year-old race, when the odds against Don Gara were steadily being cut, Joe shouted out “$600 to $500 Don Gara!” and was immediately snapped up by Coleman, who looked as tickled as a schoolboy that has just swapped knives and got a shade the best of it. It was not as sweeta 6 to 5 shot, however, as the betting indicated, for Don Gara was given the decision by a nose in a finish that looked a dead heat. Piggott, who rode City Girl, the second horse, was positive that he nosed out the “hot thing.” And so it goes, The judges in the stand gave another de- cision at the track yesterday on the last race that caused a deal of kicking. It was a mile affair, for which Remusand Tillie S had the call in the betting, the friends of the latter mare backing her to a standstill, sending her to the post favorite at 14 to 5. So numerous were her friends that Remus receded in the betting from his opening price of 3 to 1 to 16 to 5 at post time. Not a few accepted fives about Jerome 8 and Miss Garvin, while quite a delegation got down on Road Runner at the long odds of 8and 10 to 1. Sent away to an excellent start Chevalier at once took Remus to the front, holding the field all the way and entering the stretch with a lead of a length and a half over Miss Garvin, with Road Runner a fast-coming third. The latter very soon passed Miss Garvin, and less than a furlong from home apparently had Remus beaten. Shaw on Road Runner now began taking matters easy, when Remus again respond- ed to _his rider's urging, and both horses passed the finishing pnst under a drive, with Road Runner’s nose to all appear- ances in front, in the fast time of 1:41. After slight deliberation Remus’ number was hoisted, which caused a yell of joy from the brown colt's packers, and a howl of derision from the supporters of the out- sider. 1f Remus’ nose was in front, it was not visible to bystanders located near the judges’ stand nor to members of the press, or from the press stand about as good a view of his nose in front of Road Run- ner’s was obtainable as a total eclipse of the sun would be through a smoked china vlatter. It was aday’s racing replete with the usual mixtures, ‘“‘good things,”’ favorites and outsiders getting somewhat tangled up. Don Gara and Installator, the latter at a prohibition price, were the onlv pub- lic favorites to finish in front, and the crowd had a donation day to the men on the block. Little Bob, primed for a “killing,”” won the opening dash of five furlongs very handily from the 7 to5 favorite, Ike L, in 1l:101§(. Ledalia, the second choice, finished third. Wyatt Earp’s good two-year-old Don Gara carried a barrel of coin in the two- year-old race, a five-furlong spin, being backed from 7 to 5 to even money. Luckily he gota running start and it was needed, for he was given the decision in what looked like a dead heat over City Girl,a 5 to 1 chance, who ran a grand race from where she got away. Spry Lark, who had been the contending horse all the way, was a bang up third. The time was fast, 1:013;. The crack youngster Installator, startin, at the prohibition price of 1 to 6, disposeg of Charmion and Arnette in the third event, at seven furlongs, in about the fashion a hungry tramp does a sandwich. He got away from the post last, but took the lead down the back stretch, and romp- ing in front all the way won by two lengths from Arnette in 1:27. The Elkton stable’s Monterey was a sup- posed *pipe” in the six-furlong handicap, all sorts of money going in on him at 6 to 5. Bernardo, in very favorably, opened at 2to 1, but a stiff play soon cut his odds to 9 to 5. Roma received consid- erable backing at fours, but a stable-boy up on Ivy sent him into the starter's hands 20 to 1 along with that notorious rogue, Duke Stevens, who was quoted at the same figure. After giving an exuibition of fancy and tesque kicking at the post the Duke inaily concluded to run and when the flag fell went out at a great rate, in company with the favorite. The two showed the way into the stretch, with Bernardo a close third. When Hinrichs gave the lat- ter his head he shook his company off and won handily by a length and a half in 1:143{. Duke Stevens took second place just as easily from Monterey. The latter was later disqualified for fouling Roma and placed last, the Boots filly getting third money. MULHOLLAND.

Its perfect purity,as well as its superiority in leavening power, are matters of fact no longer disputed by honest deals ers or makers of other brands. HORSE-TAMING MATOH. Professor Gleason to Try for $500 at Central Park. On Sunday afternoon at Central Park there promises to be a very exciting ex- hibition of hogse-training. Professor O. R. Gleason, the g of horse-tamers as he is cailed, has made a match with George S. Switzer, a local horseman, for $500, the conditions being that Gleason must break, train and drive to harness in a four-wheeled wagon, to the satisfaction of the judges, three horses that Switzer will furnish, They must'all be driven in two hours to win the wager. Bwitzer lost a similar wager with the professorat the Mechanics’ Payilion a few weeks ago, when he claimed he should have wo and at best only lost on a technicality® However, he says he has left no stone unturned to produce three horses this time with which to win the money. Gleason, himself, has the utmost con- fidence in his own ability to subdue any- thing in the way of horseflesh that can be roduced in California. With both sides eeling confident of winning the contest must be exciting and will be %ollowed with great interest by the sympathizers of both parties. CLEYELAND BICYCLES ARE SWELL WHEELS.
